the budget they voted for requires the debt ceiling to be raised. and now when the time comes to avoid default, they don't want to do it. but i think what you're seeing is speaker boehner knows this isn't a viable tactic. i think mr. ryan knows it's not a viable tactic. but there's a lot in the republican conference that continue to see this doomsday kind of approach as a viable approach. and i think that cooler heads are starting to prevail on the republican side. and that's a good thing. >> and you are part of this no labels coalition wanting to reach across the aisle. but let me read to you what david brooks wrote. polarization is too deep, special interests are too strong. the negotiators are too rusty. republicans are not going to give up their vision of a low-tax america. democrats are not willing to change the current entitlement programs. so realistically, do you really believe that the next four years are going to be different than the last four years? >> well, you know, i don't have a prediction. i have a job. and my job is to try to solve

they'll default if they don't raise that debt ceiling. both sides seem to be digging in strongly, gloria. >> yeah, and what you have there in john boehner, wolf, is the house speaker that is really being held hostage by the conservative wing of his own caucus. what they're saying is they're tying this to repealing a piece of legislation, a large one passed three years ago that they do not like, repealing obama care, which by the way, is the president's signature piece of legislation and what john boehner seems to be doing is saying okay, we're going to tie it to the repeal of obama care. we'll pass that out of the house of representatives. it will go to the senate, it won't pass and then the big question is, wolf, whether if it goes back to the house, stripped of this repeal of obama care, whether these conservative republicans will actually end up voting to fund the government. and that is the big question now that they all face. and i don't think anybody around here knows the answer to it. >> a lot of republicans remember what happened

they find themselves on the defensive when it comes to the debt ceiling issue. remember how they vowed they would only raise the debt ceiling by a dollar for every dollar cut in spending. now they said never mind. we'll push that down the road. the big fight will be on the sweeping spending cuts that go into effect march 1 and on the government funding that runs out on march 27. march is going to be the month to watch, and it's a month that could end in a government shutdown. >> ifill: is it the kind of fight the republicans want to have to redefine themselveses? >> i think they do. gwen, i think you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. yes, the republicans folded on this wise wisely. finally, i think they got some smart on this. you have to pick your fights. they need a breather now. they've been on the defense for a year on tax cuts for millionaires, on toughness, shutting down the government, they're not going to compromise. they need to recalbright here, a reset button needs to be pushed and it seems like in every aspect of government.
